The Aim of the Book
In Golden Atlantis, for 1,500 years, the spiritual energy on our planet was the highest it has ever been. It was a time of heaven on Earth when everyone had incredible spiritual power. Now we have the opportunity to bring the energy of pure Atlantis back. Diana Cooper and Shaaron Hutton were asked by their guide, Kumeka, to explain the extraordinary gifts, qualities and powers that existed in the Golden Age. We were also asked to include in this book special exercises that will allow you to develop these skills for yourselves.
CHAPTER 1
The Establishment of Atlantis
Atlantis was a landmass between Europe and America, which is now submerged beneath the Atlantic Ocean. For 240,000 years this continent was the subject of a divine experiment to see if people could live in a physical body and still keep their connection with All That Is (known as the Creator, God, Godhead or Source). Throughout this long period, tests were set up in a number of different ways, but each time they were terminated as it became clear that humans with free will moved deeper into matter and self-destruction and further from their Source. When the conditions were reset for the fifth and last time, Golden Atlantis emerged. For a period of 1,500 years, the people maintained their purity and oneness with their Creator, and enjoyed awesome spiritual, psychic and technological powers. This book explains how they lived, their practices and what we can do today to return to that state.
Originally, the Source sent out aspects of itself, known as divine sparks or Monads, into all dimensions of the universes to experience and grow. The intention was that they would ultimately bring their experiences back to the Godhead. Some were to come to Earth, where they would have freedom to make their own decisions. Such a vast undertaking needed to be managed and the Intergalactic Council, made up of cosmic energies, was formed to oversee the operation.
Earth was always a special place, for it was pivotal in balancing the energy of our universe because of its connection to the Great Central Sun. Here, several exciting ventures took place, first in Mu, a continent in the South Atlantic, though none of these inhabitants incarnated in Atlantis. A later venture took place in Lemuria, a continent in the Southern Hemisphere, where the Lemurians were created. They were ethereal, without physical form as we understand it, and were androgynous, therefore complete in themselves, reproducing by conscious will and energy transference. However, their state of self-containment meant they had few challenges through which to grow.
At first they remained totally psychic and telepathic, maintaining their pure energy and oneness with Source. But, as time passed, their essence became discontented. They could perceive, as all spirits can, but they wanted to experience senses. They had never made love or touched a blade of grass. Nor had they tasted food, smelt the sweetness of a rose or felt the soft texture of a loved ones cheek. They longed to know what it is like to go deeper into matter with a physical body; to enjoy sexuality, touch, taste, smell, sight and hearing. They petitioned Source for this.
The Source of All That Is knew that if this was acceded to, the physical beings could become self-indulgent and hedonistic; that the allurement of the senses might tempt them away from their spiritual wisdom into the illusions of the flesh. So a deal was offered. They were told that their request would be granted on certain conditions. They could incarnate to partake of all the senses as long as they agreed to feel the related emotions. It was believed that because emotions are grounding, this would make people take responsibility for their actions, which in turn would become a catalyst for spiritual seeking and understanding.
With the granting of their request, each soul divided into two beings: one masculine and one feminine. In order to reproduce they now had to copulate with another human of the opposite sex. At last they had the opportunity to see, touch, hear, taste and smell and to feel emotions. For these beings in bodies of flesh, the continent of Atlantis was prepared, which at first linked Africa, Europe, North America and South America. Those brave ones, who were the first to take male or female form as we know it, were the earliest Atlanteans. An extraordinary new divine quest was under way. The eternal longing of every human to find his or her other half began.
Earth was unique. It was the only place in the universes where Source was conducting this particular trial; the one location where spirits could incarnate in a physical body to experience all the senses, as well as emotions and sexuality. It was an amazing opportunity, never before envisaged. These souls would have to learn to manage, support and nurture their physical forms, as well as Gaia, the Earth. Furthermore, the essence of their soul would build their skeleton or frame, while their thoughts would create and form their body of flesh. Thus, they were totally responsible for their bodies and their lives. The aim was now to discover whether divine sparks could live a full physical life, while maintaining their connection with the Source.
Those who incarnated into Atlantis were genetically encoded to be tall and well-built with blond hair and blue eyes. But Atlantis was only one of several experiments taking place on Earth. In diverse parts of the planet, various races with different genetic coding had other tasks to fulfil. One of the direct results of this is that we now have on Earth a contrast of cultures who do not understand each other.
